What is it based on

as James said ... Froggy weapon ... own chassis IIRC - international engines Mid 70s from memory Paul ... had a conventionally masted one, circa '88 ... didn't keep it long ... right handful and was offered bloody good profit

I bought it from a chap who used it to do a barn conversion locally. He bought it off the original owner a building outfit who had 3 of them from new! I paid £750 for it with a box full of spare parts but the gearbox output shaft bearing was shot. Very luckily I found a spare good gearbox so I swapped the gearbox over and given it a good once over and service. I've started to build our house about 4 weeks ago and it's proved to be very handy so far.

Yes it is French and the engine is a 3 cyl air cooled French engine simaler to a deutz engine but I think is Sambrons own engine However I maybe wrong.

Welcome to the forum
750 buys nothing plant wise - looks an interesting and handy piece of kit.
